The continuing and yes ridiculous hoarding of toilet paper, hand sanitizers, cleaning products and basic food necessities has gone on too long. Way too long.
Governor John Bel Edwards has issued 30 proclamations dealing with the corona virus. This is the next topic he should address.
Voluntary requests by public officials to stop the panic buying have been ignored. An executive proclamation to all retail outlets selling these products is needed.
Like yesterday.
John came to Shreveport in January of 1977 when he was transferred to Barksdale AFB.
He’s been active in Shreveport politics since deciding to make Shreveport his home.
John practiced law for 40 years and he now monitors local politics. He regularly attends Shreveport City Council and Caddo Parish Commission meetings.
John is published weekly in The Inquisitor, bi-monthly in The Forum News, and frequently in the Shreveport Times.
He enjoys addressing civic groups on local government issues and elections.
